The deal they make with OEMs means they can't distribute images, but the software that runs on the laptop is free and freely available. At least that's my understanding, and I feel better reading that.

From http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.p ... pid;1;pf;1:

Unlike its other consumer desktop and enterprise Linux versions, Ubuntu will not offer free downloads of the Remix version and will only offer it to prospective netbook vendors for their use, Carr said.

That seems to go against the Ubuntu credo, doesn't it?

I read that too, so I guess someone will get a copy of it and post it on bit torrent ' probably be more popular than the "Vista Ultimate Lite Plus for 256 MB Ram computers" and The "Last to final Corporate Edition of XP SP3 Lite Express Essentials" .

Ubuntu will always be free to download, free to use and free to distribute to others.

It's a strange quote that I found, then. If all the software for the Ubuntu Netbook Remix is free—as in freedom—then I'll be awaiting the first subnotebooks that use it (Dell, perhaps?) with anticipation. Otherwise I'll want no part of it.
